Bruichladdich Octomore 13.2 700mL
The 13.2 edition of Octomore from Bruichladdich follows on from the 13.1, in that it is made from 100% Scottish barley malted to a hefty 137.3 PPM, however the 13.2 edition of this superbly smoky single malt Scotch has enjoyed its five year ageing period entirely in first fill oloroso sherry butts, bringing waves of fruit and sweetness to the expressive Islay character.
Aromas of smoked almonds, with plenty of jammy, dried fruit character coming from the sherry. The earthy peat smoke has taken on a sweet, barbecue character, with spicy plum pudding, and oily orange zest.
Hickory smoke hits the palate, with almond brittle, candied citrus peels, and warm spices building.
Finishing with campfires and forest floor, with sherry character lingering.
